During my recent stop at Toronto's Left Field Brewery, I had the opportunity to sample a 12oz pour of their
formidable Resin Bag IPA. Clear and copper hued, R.B. arrived with a
dusting of off-white head. At 6.9%, it's got a bit of a lift, and its 50
IBUs give it a moderately bitter buzz.
Resin
Bag has a powerful, muddled citrus aroma that put a smile on my face. It
has a flavour that is grapefruit-heavy and, yes, a touch resinous. Its
progression is from fresh and fruity up front to arid and bitter out
back.
A thoroughly enjoyable little brew, Resin
Bag isn't exactly elite, but it's pretty close. The team at Left Field
are clearly not a beer league squad--they're currently in Triple A, but
awaiting their call up to the Show.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
